whether based on gross receipts, volume sold, or any other

measured, on the sale or transfer of real property; (5) a tax,
2
however measured, on lease receipts; (6) a tax on food
3
prepared for immediate consumption and on alcoholic beverages
4
sold by a business which provides for on premise consumption

7
the use, sale or purchase of tangible personal property.
8
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a home rule
9
municipality may not impose a tax on businesses calculated

This Section
11
does not preempt a home rule municipality with a population of
12
more than 2,000,000 from imposing a tax, however measured, on
13
the use, for consideration, of a parking lot, garage, or other
14

15
existing tax on food and beverages prepared for immediate
16
consumption on the premises where the sale occurs, or any
17
existing tax on alcoholic beverages, or any existing tax
18
imposed on the charge for renting a hotel or motel room, which
19
was in effect January 15, 1988, or any extension of the
20
effective date of such an existing tax by ordinance of the
21
municipality imposing the tax, which extension is hereby
22
authorized, in any non-home rule municipality in which the
23
imposition of such a tax has been upheld by judicial
24
determination, nor is this Section intended to preempt the
25
authority granted by Public Act 85-1006. On and after December

1, 2019, no home rule municipality has the authority to

5
and 49 U.S.C. 47133, or unless the tax revenue is expended for
6
airport-related purposes. For purposes of this Section,
7
"airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed in Section
8
6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. Aviation fuel shall be
9
excluded from tax only if, and for so long as, the revenue use
10
requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are
11
binding on the municipality. This Section is a limitation,

pursuant to subsection (g) of Section 6 of Article VII of the
13
Illinois Constitution, on the power of home rule units to tax.
